My brother had given me POA over care of my 2 1/2 y.o. niece due to a trial separation he and his wife had gone through a few months ago. Currently, my brother and his wife are working on getting back together and possibly will be taking care of my niece once more. My brother won’t be discharged from the military until November 2009 (he currently resides in VA) and I fear that if my niece is left with my sister-in-law (residing in CA), she’ll suffer from emotional trauma once again (my sister-in-law left her family because “it was only out of sympathy” that she stayed with my brother and previous to that she had threatened to divorce my brother and leave my niece to be with another man, she does not work, she’s a full-time student and dependent on her parents and my brother for financial support). In my opinion, neither of them are mature enough to actually think of my niece’s well being and more on the look out for their own.

I want this child to grow up in a safe and secure environment. Is there anything that can be done?
